Metering Systems for Ilam Gas Refinery

Ilam Gas Refinery is the one facility in this programme where SKP holds both scopes. This reference project records the gas metering systems: engineered packages, tested before shipment and again on site, then installed and commissioned.

Project overview

What this project covers

Ilam Gas Refinery is a natural-gas processing refinery in Ilam Province, in western Iran. Sanat Khat va Palayesh (SKP) supplies its metering systems under Iran's national programme for refinery measurement systems, with the Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company as main employer and Tarh Andishan Consulting Engineers as consultant.

Ilam is the only facility in the programme where SKP carries both scopes: the metering systems recorded here, and the analyzer system packages recorded as a separate project. The two are engineered, inspected and commissioned separately, which is why they stand as two reference projects rather than one.

Systems and delivery

Technical scope of the project

Metering systems

The Ilam scope is for a measurement system delivered as an engineered package: SKP is responsible for the assembly and for its performance as one system, rather than for individual meters. Meter technologies and equipment makes are fixed by the project's approved engineering documentation and are not published here.

  • Metering systems supplied as engineered, tested packages
  • Mechanical, instrument and electrical integration at package level
  • Package interfaces to the refinery's power, signal and utility systems
  • Functional testing before shipment and again after installation
  • Commissioning and handover to the refinery's operating staff

Inspection, testing and commissioning

Inspection runs against a single plan agreed with the employer and the consultant, so that what is witnessed in the workshop and what is witnessed at the refinery are the same set of tests.

  • Inspection and test plan (ITP) approved by the client before testing begins
  • Pre-shipment inspection and testing where the package is assembled and integrated
  • Site testing after installation, against the same approved plan
  • Commissioning at the refinery alongside the end user's operating staff
